SAW SET.

Application filed November 3, 1921. Serial No. 512,681.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known. that I, FREEMAN ()onLL, a citizen oi? the United States, residing at Lake George, in the county or /Varren and State of New York, have inventedcertain new and useful improvements in Saw Sets, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to saw-setting tools and has tor its main object the provision of a device which does not require the use of an anvil, hammer or other external means, having all the means iorspringing a saw tooth einhodieijl within itself.

Another object is to provide a saw set slender in proportion, simple of manipulation, distinct in method of operation and comparatively inexpensive in cost of manufacture. These and other objects will. become apparent in the description below in which characters of reference will refer to the like-named parts in the drawing.

Referring briefly to the drawing, Figure i. represents a side clevational view of the device and shows a saw (in cross section) secured in proper position thereto.

Figure 2 is a front elevational view of the device showing the saw in position, from a dill ent angle.

Qcrring more in detail to the drawing the numeral 10 in dicates the common type of fiat saw which is clamped to the surface 11 oi an open recess formed by the body exnions i2 and 13, the latter coincidentally supecposing member 12.

.lhe saw blade tooth 20 is securely held in mutual contact with the surface 11 by a screw 14: which tlireadably engages a hole in part 13. The screw is manipulated bv rotating the head 15.

Part 16 slopes oft angularly from part 12 y and has located therein a threaded hole in which a screw 1'? having a relatively large head 18 is threadably mounted. The screw fits rather tightly into the hole so as to resist any tendency to rotate when handling the saw set.

The extreme end of the screw 1'? is formed into a conical surface 19 the apex. of which engages the end of the saw blade 10. It is apparent from the drawing that, threading the screw 1'? into the part 16, will cause one end of the saw blade 10 to be elevated until it comes in contact with the edge 21, the latter forming an angle gage for the set of the saw tooth. 1 illustrate, in ignre 1. by broken lines, theposition a saw blade takes after the saw tooth has been set.

As each alternate tooth hasbeen sprung thrnout the length of the saw blade, the '1 .iatter is then reversed or turned over after which the remaining teeth not set will be set at a divergent angle from each of the successive teeth, thereby giving a clearance for the remainder of the saw blade to enter into the saw slit.

at support 21 having an elongated handle formed thereto is provided for conveniently. holding the tool.-

.li claim:

1. A tool of the class described comprising i a body member having an elongated handle and. an extension formed thereto the latter adapted to lie in planes parallel to the body and forming a recess therebetween, a clamp screw 'threadably mounted in. the said extension and adapted to secure a saw blade tooth. inthe recess and means for gaging the angular set of a saw.

tool of the class described comprising .11 body having an elongated handle ei and an extension formed thereto and adapted. to form. an open recess between the extension and the main body member, said extension having screw threadably engaged therein, a similar screw threadably mounted in the main body member havmg a conical surface "formed thereon, the latter named screwadapted to elevate one edge of the blade until it contacts with the nearest edge of the body extension.

In witness whereof I aflix my signature.

FREEMAN ODELL.
